Comments
Artist created hand dyed cottons, felts, velvets, silk organza and batiks; hand painted and foiled. Rocks are machine pieced, machine and hand quilted, hand embroidered and appliqued. Background pieces are machine quilted. Shadows are hand painted. Group dynamics are complicated. Working together is a balancing act. With our mutual fascination for cairns and balanced rock sculptures, we independently created our rocks and worked on the background together.
